I’ve got news for this article: Having a steady job doesn’t make you a breadwinner

“War” isn’t the correct term

Therefore a good year for everyone

“Remove all union executives”? Jesus, the ban hammer getting dropped hard.

York on the wrong side of history here

Fuck Activision

Yes. Next question.

Excellent!

I’m getting a headache reading this article and just trying to understand what they’re protesting

I don’t pay for either of those

Not a word about grocer price gouging or sky-high rent. Incredible . . .

Roll the dice! Iterate!

Another one down. On to Ford!

How is Ford still in office?

As someone who also went full-time remote during COVID, I tend to agree.

So “A plague of selfishness”? Really?

The gaming industry is designed to fail in this economy. The objectives of “maximize return” and “make something fun” rarely overlap. Best they can do is trick people into habitual play and hope they can’t distinguish between an occasional dopamine drip and fun.

I hope they’re all finally free now

Exact same boat. US -> Canada. USA scares the shit out of me. Infinitely happier, even with the reduced buying power.
